Acaterin (1), produced by Pseudomonas sp. A 92, is a secondary metabolite having a 2-penten-4-lide structure. Feeding experiments with 2H- and 13C-labeled decanoic acid, their 3-oxygenated congeners, and octanoic acid have suggested that 1 is biosynthesized via coupling of a C5 unit with octanoate, rather than via introduction of a C3 unit at the α position of a decanoate derivative. Further feeding study of [2,3-13C2] decanoic acid concluded that the former route is operating in the biosynthesis of 1.
